ANNUAL POST WARNING:

With all these hideous Perspex awards floating about these days, it's nice to see a traditional trophy someone has really put some thought into.

Can they send hot water down a pipe and touch it to see if it's warm? Or is that too straightforward?

I mean, I don't have issues using toilets just because other people might be in neighboring cubicles - but I'm not a frothing loony - so who knows?

I just wonder how many times she used the loo, or whether she held it in the whole time, just in case she discovered it's all fine and normal and nothing happens...

At home today while the odd job man mends some things. (He's working in the bathroom, so of course all I can think about is how much I need to use it...)

Distracting myself by writing my chartership diary. (I have reviewed the first three days and written three pages. 😮)

Finally, someone I would not love if they were a worm.

Wait until they start using the one with the big claw attachment on the end - that one is brilliant!

I don’t know, if I spent all my time online claiming that a group of people were so terrifying and dangerous that they should be excluded from public life and any space I am in, I wouldn’t spend money to willingly go to a concert with up to 10,000 of them

I note that she wasn't confident enough in her beliefs to wear a one of those bigot scarves or a 'woman' t-shirt. just the undercover snarking.

If we can't go over that mountain, we can surely tunnel under it?

Imagine paying money to go to a concert packed with acts you've never heard of just so you can be bitter about other people having a good time.

What a way to live your life!

Wasn't there someone who put all of their clothes on a carboard cut out of Danny Devito? That was pretty good...

Someone looking at a gravestone says "I miss you dad. I wish I got more time with you."

The ground around the grave begins to shift. "Oh my god" says the speaker.

A hand emerges from the dirt.

A thin, bald man with a long protuberance of a nose, soaking wet, pulls himself from the dirt proclaiming "why yes, it is I, Wet Nude Steve. You've caught me while I've been out tunneling around, experiencing worm pleasures. One of my naughtiest indulgences.
Perhaps you would like to explore with me?"

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a giant squid wearing a yellow Bart t-shirt and some terrible hypebeast shorts is looking in the mirror. It says, “need groceries… but all my clothes are in the laundry.” Panel 2: the squid, now also wearing hot pink crocs, exits its apartment and says, “eh. I won’t see anyone.” Panel 3: two fisherman are pulling the squid to the surface of the water and pointing at it. An overlayed news caption reads: RARE SQUID SIGHTED - the fit was crazy

Hi,

As we know we're going to get sued to oblivion, we've decided to deactivate the plagiarism slop in the hopes that you'll all forget about it and move on."

There's a couple in the #museum with a very cute, very happy baby. Someone's phone started going off and the baby copied the ringtone noises.

Adorable, and made me laugh that the parents may have to tell the child that their first words were 'doot doot'!
